I have been training dogs for over 45 years. My expertise lies in the area of dog aggression and/or dominance in dogs.

As such, I get hundreds of emails every week on the subject. In 2006 I finsihed producing a 3 1/2 Hour DVD titled DEALING WITH DOMINANT AND AGGRESSIVE DOGS. This was a 5 year project. In my DVD, I break down dominance and aggression into more than 20 different catagories of aggression in dogs.

Below I have listed these catagories of dominant dogs. If you click on any one of these catagories you can read a few of the emails from people whose dogs fall into that specific catagory of dog aggression.

One thing that needs to be mentioned is that more often than not, a dog will exhibit more than one form of dominace, or more than one form of aggression at the same time. I have catagorized hundreds of emails in a manner that reflects the major form of aggression a specific dog is displaying.
